Area, Perimeter and Measurement: Crew 42 makes Newspaper Carpets?!



Getting a new carpet? Organizing and plotting your flower bed?  Placing a framed picture on a wall?  Painting a wall?  Building a new house?  The real-life uses of area, perimeter and measurement are all around us.  During this assignment students were given the charge of creating an area rug out of newspaper that was 9 square feet.  They had fun working in teams to accomplish this task, but it was hard work!
